Hello everyone. So in this video we are
going to see OS detection with hyphen hyphen
Max hyphen OS - tries
so
we are going to see that nmap by
default uses five tries to
identify the exact OS that
is running on the target system.
We can tune this tries by
adding this particular flag, which is
hyphen hyphen Max hyphen OS hyphen tries.
So the example of doing
this scan would be and map the target
IP address and the flag and the
number that you want.
That enmap should try for.
remember and map by default
tries
for five retries you can tune it to
one two, three or four according to
you.
Adding a hyphen V to see the output in verbose
mode.
on to the terminal
So, let's see the scan.
in action
see on my screen. I have run this can already.
right now the
command is and map.
The target - o which stands for OS detection
- Max hyphen OS -
dries, and I have given the try which is 1 so
as you can see over here initiating OS
detection, and the try that has been done is only once
instead of five and let's
see if I were to identify the right OS as
you can see over here. We have identify the
correct operating system. That is Linux 2.6.32.
So I hope you guys understood.
Using this particular flag to identify the OS. Thank
you.
